'Dead' man goes to GPs for check-up
A man who faked his death to get £300,000 in life insurance was caught out after he visited his GP for a check-up.
Ahmad Akhtary, 34, got hold of a mock-up death certificate from Afghanistan stating he had died of a "brain trauma" in the wake of an accident there.
His deception was uncovered because he continued to live a full and visible life in Gloucester. Akhtary pleaded guilty to attempting to obtain money by deception and was jailed for nine months suspended for two years.
